I am nominated for a FuEL Award!

I am very pleased to announce my nomination for a FuEL Award as part of the Canadian Future Entrepreneurial Leaders Youth Business Foundation awards program. The FuEL Awards were created to promote entrepreneurship in Canada by identifying forward-thinking role models for youth and illustrating the many benefits of venturing out on one's own.

As you know, I started my business Water-on-Wheels back in 2010 to provide mobile water refill stations to special events across Canada. I am very proud to share that the business has experienced tremendous success and growth over the past two seasons. In April 2012 WOW won the City of Toronto’s Green Award for Water Efficiency.

Toronto Film Critics Association Awards 2012

On January 10, 2012 it was my pleasure to do a contract for DanielsStephenson Public Relations and Production and have the opportunity to work the onsite event production of this year's Toronto Film Critics Association Awards. Held at the beautiful Carlu event venue in downtown Toronto the awards were presents for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Male Performance, Best Female Performance, Best Male Supporting Performance, Best Female Supporting Performance, Best Screenplay (Adapted or Original), Best First Feature, Best Documentary and Best Canadian Film as chosen by Toronto's critics. A great gig to work!

I am extremely pleased and excited to announce that on behalf of my company, Water-on-Wheels, I will be leading an education workshop for delegates at the 2012 Festivals and Events Ontario Conference at the Sheraton on the Falls, in Niagara Falls - March 2, 2012!

The workshop, entitled - Going Blue: Eliminating Bottled Water from Your Event - will explore how event coordinators are taking their green initiatives to the next level themselves by providing hydration stations with access to tap water and making their events reusable-bottle and cup friendly. This session will explore the negative environmental impact of disposable plastic bottles at events, the subsequently evolving practices of hydrating guests at events and festivals that have decided to 'ban the bottle', and the impact of bottled water bylaws on festivals and special events across Ontario. We will also discuss unique and innovated ways you can engage sponsors using hydration stations as sponsorable property, and how Water-on-Wheels can help you prove the value of your event's water refilling initiatives.

The workshop will be very helpful and informatiove, it's definitely NOT TO MISS!

Visit the Festivals and Events Ontario website to register for the conference, attend the WOW workshop and visit the WOW booth on the Marketplace tradeshow floor, March 2 and 3rd. See you at the conference!
